Machine Overview

The ECM Classika PID is priced at $1499, making it a more budget-friendly option compared to the Rocket R Nine One, which has a significantly higher MSRP of $6500. Both machines are classified as semi-automatic, but they cater to different skill levels; the Classika PID is aimed at intermediate users, while the R Nine One is designed for advanced baristas.

Brewing Comparison

In terms of brewing information, the ECM Classika PID uses a lever activation and has a single boiler with a heat-up time ranging from 5 to 15 minutes. It features an E61 group type and a vibration pump, with a brew boiler capacity of 0.8 liters and a water reservoir capacity of 2 liters. In contrast, the Rocket R Nine One features touch screen activation, a dual boiler system with a brew boiler capacity of 1.9 liters, and a much longer heat-up time of over 30 minutes, utilizing a saturated group type and a magnetic volumetric pump.

Features Comparison

When it comes to features, both machines have a variety of advanced attributes. The Classika PID includes pre-infusion, PID control, and a shot timer, but lacks concurrent brew and steam capabilities. The R Nine One, on the other hand, offers more advanced features such as concurrent brew and steam, dual PID control, and a steam pressure gauge, in addition to all the features available on the Classika PID.
